COGS: Communication Organization of Graduate Students

COGS is a student run organization of graduate students in the communication studies department. COGS holds several meetings each semester to update graduate students on university and department news, discuss issues pertaining to the graduate student body, and plan events. COGS also invites faculty members to host seminars throughout the academic year. Popular seminars from last year included: vita workshop, comprehensive exam workshop, and thesis workshop. These seminars serve to guide and prepare students for graduate life and beyond. In addition to meetings and workshops, COGS holds several social activities each semester. COGS social events provide graduate students with the opportunity to fellowship away from school.
